As Jim Morrison sang...

This is the end...

Well we slept in until 8, despite the early morning disruption from the alarm marks blackberry. With little time left, we planned a short route.


We went to the monument to the London fire, headed to a market that was unfortunately closed, went through the bankers alley and to St Paul's.


Our route back took us to the Millenium bridge and back to the hotel by 11:05 (Steven the cabbie was already there). We had a very scenic tour on our way to heathrow including the changing of the guard at buckingham palace.


Sadly, we arrived at our final European destination, terminal 4 at heathrow. The departures is actually much nicer than the arrivals which looks more like a bomb shelter. We were all overweight in luggage by several kilos.


It would've cost us over £120 but fortunately we had purchases the options plus upgrade so we were covered. Unfortunately I had left a water bottle in marks carry on which subjected him to increases scrutiny but no cavity search thankfully. I bought some Pimm's at duty free and we headed to the gate.
We're in the air as I type. I have taken fifi's suggestion and uses a brown paper bag. Well actsully not, I'm actually wearing the air sickness bag, it's not brown but it's made of paper. We've had lovely vistas of England, Greenland and Newfoundland. I have a few more random thoughts that I'll post tomorrow probably, when my brain is no longer mushy. I think I'll keep the blog going though, some about our upcoming camping trip but maybe even beyond that. Every day is a new adventure you know.
